    I love how the only way Joe can think of to listen to a certain song is to call a radio station. I love this man, he's too pure for this world.

      And how every time he requests it, he needs to read the name off the notepad. Even when hes requesting it for the 10th time in a row, he still hasnt memorized the song title and group name.

      AkirarikA - What? Are you serious? I thought Baba O’Reily came out in the 1950s. In fact, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. I have distinct memories of Buddy Holly going on tour with The Who as the opening act. I’m positive I’m right.

    Probably my favorite joke in this whole show is when we cut to that man cleaning the tables in the restaurant.
    The audience has never seen this man before or since. But hearing Joe ask to hear the song again, the man goes "C'mon, Joey."
    He's fully aware that this is the kind of thing Joe Pera does. We don't know that man, but he knows our good friend Joe Pera well. Perfect small town scenario.

      Not to mention the radio host who, very clearly, states the name of the song and band to intentionally not make it 'into an Abbott & Costello' routine. He too, knows how Joe is going to respond.

    On top of being a huge fan of pretty much anything Joe Pera does, I also have a very distinct memory of the first time I heard this song on the radio as a kid. I had my in-progress "mixtape" cassette in my tape recorder and would sit by the radio waiting for the song to come on so I could hit record. I remember yelling about them announcing the songs afterwards instead of before they play them... And indeed calling in to request that they play the song.

Yet I do love The Who, and find the wholesomeness of this clip quite charming. Definitely makes me want to check out the rest of the show. Modern humor is really lacking stuff like this.

    This clip brings me so much joy. For one, I used to be a major fan of The Who so this is spot on, and secondly, this is just extremely wholesome in every way possible. Joe picking up his dog who is rather bewildered as to what's going on and having a good time with him? Super wholesome. Joe inviting the pizza delivery guy inside to show him a song that he just discovered and absolutely loves? Extremely wholesome. The dog eating the pizza? Wholesome and hilarious. I think I enjoy this clip so much for all of these reasons and also because it reminds us to enjoy the simple things, like how amazing it is the first time you hear a song that you love. I find it hard to think about the positive things in my life sometimes when things get rough, and Joe here just reminds me that there is a lot out there to smile about and have fun with. It's really the small things that can bring you happiness and I think that's beautiful.

    Love how Joe completely goes crazy when the song is playing. Dances with Gus, requests the song over and over, "WHOOOOOOO!!", then invites the pizza delivery dude in for pizza and beer and then dances with him too. Then tries to force Gus to give him back the crust. This is one of the most wholesome shows ever. When adult swim started to do it's Friday night marathons of their shows, I was hoping Joe Pera Talks With You would be one of the shows they marathon, and I was in heaven when the announced it would be. This show is amazing, and if you have issues passing out at night you can literally keep this show on and Joe Pera will talk you to sleep because that's how comforting his voice is.

    I have lived in the US for about 4 years now. It was a really hard and drastic change in my life and I remember crying a lot about it. Until one day a I found this clip, I felt like I was having a strange feeling of nostalgia. I remember laying down on my bed and smiling. The next day I got my parents to order pizza and sat down listening to this song and eating. It’s one of my favorite memories from those hard times, I still do it sometimes and it feels like taking a break from the world around you, just you, pizza, and a great song.
